And?
Slaughter for money is still slaughter for money.
I've been told to do things that I believed were wildly unethical before at job. I said "NO", knowing full well it could get me fired. It didn't, but it could have. Going directly up against a corporate board member (when you're not one!) and refusing to do what they want can lead to being summarily ejected.
If it had happened, so be it. What they wanted me to participate in was wrong. It wasn't a close call. While my refusal did not ultimately stop what later happened and was done by dozens of other firms, it DID stop it at the time -- and the risk was worth it.
